Hello, I just bought this phone a week ago. Previously I'm using Droid Razr which got stolen so I bought Atrix 2 as replacement.
What I noticed first thing is the warm (yellow-ish) tint on the display. I personally like neutral colors so I found Screen Adjuster to be a perfect apps to reduce this effect. Simply boost the blue slider up and the screen should be neutral. About +7 - +8 looks neutral enough for me.

Does anybody else's screen have a blue tint to the white's at any angle other than straight on?
I ask because mine does, and my Fascinate does, but it isn't even really noticeable.
I remember when I got my HTC incredible that some had it worse than others so I'm kind of curious if the Charge I have is an overt anomaly or if I'm just being picky.
i've owned the fascinate, the vibrant and now the charge... they all looked 'bluish' to me... especially when you compared the screens to another phone that is not an amoled.
Engadget mentioned this in their review of the Charge. Disable the auto-brightness setting, and dial it up manually. You should see the blueish tint disappear.
the bluish tint never really goes away .. at least in my experience with 3 different samsungs .. regardless of the brightness setting. turning it up all the way helps but it's definitely still noticeable .. depends on whether or not you can live with it
I'm planning to pick up a Charge this Saturday, and will be going to the store with a list of "concerns" such as this one. If I can reporduce the blue tint and then make it disappear enough to not annoy the hell out of me, I'll be leaving with one.
Luckily I know the salesperson I'm buying it from, so it will not have the OTA installed when he hands it over.
FWIW, I just realized all of my tinting issues were due to the Zagg Invisible Shield I had on it. I realized this after I took the generic brand protector off my Fascinate and realized all the colors popped more.
Yes, OLED/AMOLED/SAMOLED/SAMOLED+ screens have pink or blue tint depending on the angle, but mine was *awful* compared to my Epic 4G, Fascinate, and HTC Incredible.
Zagg screen protector off, Phantom Skin screen protector on...takes a significantly greater angle to cause the degree of tinting issues I was seeing with anything but straight-on.
Much, MUCH happier with the display now
I actually work in the oled industry , the reason you see a blusish tint is because blue lives the shortest. so to avoid degradation and increase efficiency they optimize the screens using blue as the jump point.
although it is a blue tint it by industry standards is called a cool white. when you increase intensity on the screen you see less of this tint because at the higher points the three colors intensity start to create a more pure white.
you must remember OLED compared to other screen technology is in its infancy, we have developed blue molecules that will live longer with better efficiency when you start to see these roll out in the industry more pure whites will be acheived.
You can complain about blue tint all you want but it is by design so there is nothing you can change.....now with voodoo kernels you can adjust this but you run the risk of color degradation more quickly so dont leave static images on your screen as colors will degrade faster than others and you will see "Burn in " if you will
Oh, I totally understand the blue tint to OLED's, and I'm fine with it. No complaints.
But this was *bad*. Even using the phone in my hand, every slight movement was causing it to flicker from pink to blue to warm tones and so the screen itself looked like it was having a film waved in front of it. It was distracting and awful compared to my other OLED-ish devices.
Lo and behold, it was just the screen protector type I was using. No issues with it now.
(I actually prefer cool tones to my displays anyway, so its all good.)
I am comparing 2 Charges side by side and one has a really blue tint and the other has perfect whites. Mine is the one that is really blue. My display is noticeably dimmer then the one without the bluish tint. As much as I hate to do it I might swap it out to see if I get one that does not have the blue tint.
I have used the dock on mine for about 2 weeks nightly. Could have have caused a burn in effect by keeping the clock screen on at night?
Edit: nothing is wrong with the screen. Its only noticeable if you have both right next to each other. If you look at one then the other you really can't even tell. I bought an episode of South Park on media hub and it looks better then my 46 inch Samsung led tv.
Hi everyone,
I've was pretty happy with my AT&T One X which I got on launch day until last night, when I put it next to my friend's (who got it from the same store on the same day). When our screens were next to each other (same brightness setting), my screen displayed whites that were noticeably dimmer and not as pure (had a slight yellowish hue). Has anyone had this same issue or know how to fix it?
Thanks for any help!
Yours is better. Give it a few days I promise it will get brighter. Mine was the same way.

It's the glue between the lcd and glass it should become clear in a week or so.
Got a HD Maxx last week, and things were great the first few days, but lately I've noticed a pretty annoying yellow tint on anything that's supposed to be white (webpages, email, etc.). Should I expect this to go away over time, or is it something that a replacement unit wouldn't suffer from?
I tried a color adjuster app from the market, and while that helped, it slowed down the phone quite a bit.
Are any of you having similar issues?
It's called PenTile screen technology that makes it appear yellow sometimes.
I get the same thing and have heard this remark/complaint many many times. Assuming your talking about the same thing.

Yup, pretty sure what you are mentioning we all see.. Whites definitely don't look white.
The Razr series uses a Super AMOLED display, which means there is no back-light, each pixel "ligths up" as needed. In general, AMOLED displays are not considered to have a white as good as the traditional LCD displays with back-lighting. On the other hand, black is really good, and it does not look as "dark grey" (especially at high brigthness setting) as most LCD screens do. That is because in a AMOLED display a black pixel is completely off, is not just blocking the back-light as in a traditional LCD.
Recently I received a replacement One XL after the last power button went ka-put. I addition to having 2.20 (rooted now thankfully!) the screen has a much warmer color temperature than my last one. The colors are more accurate but a bluish tint makes the screen 'pop' IMO. Differences in panels have been covered in another thread but not how to adjust the temperature via config or system settings. Screen Adjuster in the Play market works but needs to run as a service. Does anyone know a way to adjust color temps like CM Roms do?
In for answer.
I thought it was just the processor and not the screen heating up. Pisses me off when I am trying to play a game or read a book from the Kindle app and my hand starts to sweat because of the heat.

Hmmm, I think maybe you're talking about heat generated by the phone as opposed to screen color. By warmer temp I mean colors (on screen) tend to fall more on the yellow side as opposed to whiter (bluish) hues. I know AT&T is not putting these up as demo units in stores, I think they are only sent out as replacements. Anyone have experience with these warmer screens?
Same here...just bought my OneX. Came from OneS with the Amoled screen. It definitely has a yellowish warm tint one this one
Hello, I just got this device and noticed that the screen has a warm/yellow tint to it.
If the phone is on a flat surface and I'm looking at it at an angle then the color look cooler, looking at it head on the colors are warmer.
Is this normal? If not can I exchange the phone at a Verizon store?
You should be able to return it to a staoe within 30 days after that they will mail you a (probably) refurb. There is some variance from one amoled to another, but a full on yellow tint shouldn't be there.

Too much of an hassle, I downloaded Screen Adjuster and used that to fix the tint instead.
Or you could do that lol. Personally I would not have taken a phone with a quality issue.

Honestly is wasn't that big of an issue, its only noticeably under fluorescent lights. I didn't want to risk with getting a refurb unit with different issues.
